Overview of the project

The artistic residency project

The Artistic Research Residency program is open to composers, professional musicians, choreographers, stage directors, sound designers, and students who wish to carry out their musical and artistic research using IRCAM or its partners’ facilities and extensive research environment. Upon nomination, each candidate will be granted a residency in an associated laboratory during a specific period that will range from three to six months long. During this period, candidates will work in association with a team/project at IRCAM or with a partner, carry out the musical and scientific experimental work associated with their proposed project, and participate in the intellectual life of the institute. At the end of their stay, candidates will be invited to share the results of their work with the international musical research community in the form of documentation and public presentations. This year will be marked by the first collaboration with ZKM | ( Institute for Music & Acoustics).
